ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1. Help for Printer Properties ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
This dialog allows you to change various attributes that the printer. will use
to print your job. The following attributes can be set or changed:
o The number of uncollated copies of each page to print.
o Paper size; A4, letter and so on.
o Paper feed methods; by a manual feed or from an automatic paper cassette
tray.
o The page orientation; portrait or landscape.
The control buttons allow you to save the attributes you have selected or
cancel your selections.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2. Help for Copies ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
This option lets you specify the number of copies of each page you want to
print up to a maximum of 99.
The copies printed will be uncollated. For example, if you specify 3 copies,
you will get 3 copies of the first page followed by 3 copies of the second
page, and so on.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3. Help for Choosing Forms ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The form is the size of the paper you want to use for printing. The size is
usually given in terms of a standard name for that size, for example A4 or
Letter.
The form is linked to the paper feed method.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4. Help for Paper tray ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
You may choose the paper tray you wish to use by selecting one of the two
choices available, manual feed or from an automatic paper cassette tray.
The tray selection is linked to the forms selection. Selecting a paper tray
will automatically select the size of paper that was last selected for that
tray. This allows you to use the cassette for one size of paper and the manual
feed for another size of paper. Just selecting the tray will then give you the
appropriate paper size also.
When using manual feed the printer may prompt you to insert paper in the manual
feed slot.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5. Help for Orientation ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
You may choose the orientation of the print job by selecting either the
portrait or the landscape options. These options are mutually exclusive and
cannot be mixed in the same print job.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 6. Saving Selections ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
OK will save your selections. If you displayed this dialog from the Print
Manager, OK will save your selections as the default job properties for
applications that do not display this dialog.
If you displayed this dialog from an application, OK will save your selections,
either for the current print job or as the default for the application. The
application determines if the change is just for the current print job or the
application default.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 7. Canceling Selections ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The CANCEL button will cancel the selections you have made and return you to
the panel from which you invoked the printer properties dialog panel.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 8. Getting Help ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The HELP has the same function as the F1 key. It provides context sensitive
help for the printer properties dialog. Just activate the field you need help
with, using the mouse or the tab key, and then click on the HELP button or
press the F1 key. From the displayed help text you can get to any other help
for this dialog.

will allow a small number of sheets to be stacked. See the printer
documentation for more details.

The paper cassette is optional on some printers, standard on others. A large
number of sheets can be stacked in the cassette allowing the printer to run for
a long period before needing to be restocked with paper. You may have a supply
of cassettes holding different sizes of paper.
